Machado has just one hit in eight plate appearances this season with the big club. The 23-year-old infielder will probably be up and down for the rest of the summer. Jul 18 - 10:17 PM

Tigers recalled INF Dixon Machado from Triple-A Toledo.

The slick-fielding infielder appeared in three games earlier in the season with the big league club, going 1-for-7 (.143) with a walk and a strikeout. He'll function as bench depth while Marc Krauss is away on paternity leave. Jul 16 - 10:42 PM

Tigers optioned INF Dixon Machado to Triple-A Toledo.

Machado was only with the club for a few days as infield depth, and he'll return to Toledo to make room on the roster for Thursday's starter Buck Farmer. He should get another opportunity with the big league club before the end of the season, but remains irrelevant in most fantasy leagues. May 28 - 6:17 PM

He's also done some hitting over the last week. Obviously running will be the biggest test for Cabrera's strained left calf and it's unclear at this point when he might be cleared for that. The Tigers think the slugger will be ready for activation from the disabled list around August 15.

Alfredo Simon's next scheduled start will be pushed back to Saturday due to a lingering groin injury.

Simon first tweaked the groin in his July 25 outing and it nagged at him during his start this past Thursday. He told Tigers manager Brad Ausmus he could pitch through it, but the skipper wants to be careful. "I'm concerned about it," Ausmus said. "And I don't get concerned about many things. Just because he felt good in his bullpen before his last start and then didn't look real good, so we'll give him these extra days. ... Obviously, if we have to adjust, we will."

It's a paperwork move to clear a 40-man roster spot for Daniel Norris, who was acquired from the Blue Jays in Thursday's David Price trade. Lobstein has been out since May 24. There's no timetable for his return.
